takes the time to explore the changing areas, stunning beauty and continually moving game of north-ern Botswana: from walking on islands in the jewel of the Kalahari, the Okavango Delta, to the di-verse, wildlife-filled Linyanti concession, with its seasonal elephant herds. The camps are located in a range of different habitats to maximize the best possible game viewing through all times of the year. Accommodation varies with a combination of serviced camping in private concession areas and a sa-fari camp in Zambia.

The safaris are led by highly skilled and qualified professional guides with an incredible passion for the natural regions they work in. Sharing the adventure and guiding you on this journey of discovery combined with their vast knowledge of the natural world, history and culture are their professions and personal hobby. Your guide will host you for the duration of the safari, providing you with a consistent, detailed interpretation that is shaped to your specific interests.

The journey is specifically tailored for you to enjoy varied species of the Okavango Delta (both perma-nently and seasonally flooded), Linyanti savannah and Chobe, in mainly exclusive areas.

Activities include day and night game drives, walking and mokoro.

Air transfers showcase the vast wilderness and denizens of Botswana and enhance the beauty and magnitude of your journey.
